Joyful Courage: "Brain-Informed Parenting"

Here's a link to my interview with Joyful Courage. I love sharing the ideas from Whole-Brain Child and No Drama Discipline, and discussing how science can help guide parents in really meaningful ways.

What you will hear in this episode:

How Dr. Dan Siegal and Tina collaborated on THE WHOLE-BRAINED CHILD

How science can help guide parents in really profound ways

Programs, communities and in which Dr. Bryson’s work is taught

The importance of HOW are parent shows up to the nervous system of a developing child

How getting CURIOUS with your child creates gateways into building important life skills and self regulation

How making ASSUMPTIONS delays or stops tool building; ie, taking behavior personal, over explaining behavior, making character assumptions, if they did it once they should be able to consistently complete task/request

Paying attention to a developing nervous system

If the nervous system is not regulated the child cannot have choice over behavior
